I know, I know - I've read these repeatedly, but I've had a cold and sometimes it is nice to read something familiar. Besides, note that I am posting the eight books as one. I had finally calmed down a little from the dismal mess that attempted to pass for something in this series, and it was a good time to revisit and remember that it all started out amazingly well.
Definition - when I say "the Liaden books" I am referring to Conflict of Honors, Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, Plan B, I Dare, Local Custom, Scout's Progress, Crystal Soldier, and Crystal Dragon. I did enjoy the Theo Waitley books, and The Mouse and the Dragon, but I am extremely wary of the "Adventures in the Liaden universe" books.
For some reason, this reading I was very much aware of the "set-ups" in the Crystal books. It is almost as if they went though and checked off everything in the earlier books - "and here is the beginning of the divergence of the Xtrang troop language" and such. It wasn't as annoying as the loose ends left for future stories in Ghost Ship.
